| Rosaleen chapter 44 . 4/5/2014
Wonderful chapter and I think, a fitting way to end this story. I have greatly enjoyed your series. Thank you for completing.
| Dragongirl Jun chapter 44 . 4/5/2014
Either the story is abandoned... or its on hiatus. Since it says 'currently abandoned' I'm guessing you plan on perhaps continuing the story one day (when the muses return, when you just want to)... the word 'abandoned' implies that this story is dead, that there are no 'currently' or plans towards future writing. ... In essence... please either remove the 'currently' from the 'is abandoned'... or change it to hiatus instead.

Oh my god this is so so so so so good! Please, I know this story has been abandoned for ages but could you update again? This story is really too good to be left to rot!
| riverrat chapter 49 . 1/29/2013
Well, I finished it even though the last part of this great heartfelt and emotional trilogy was reduced to summarization without any heart and soul. It is a shame if you are leaving it like that. I'm sure I won't be the only one disappointed.
| riverrat chapter 35 . 1/17/2013
Poor Severus. Even though he has his students to worry about he has really nobody he can pour his heart out. In all of his loneliness he has fallen prey to the mirror of arised.
| riverrat chapter 21 . 1/6/2013
I really love Tonks in your fic. As a matter of fact I like the way you mention all the other characters we know from the book and the way you make them fit into your timeline.
| riverrat chapter 3 . 1/2/2013
Looks like Sev has his work cut out for him to straighten up those little monsters...lol
| JaneDoh0 chapter 49 . 10/6/2012
I just wanted to say that I loved your epic unfinished trilogy, and that I hope your non-fanfic writing is going well. Thanks for sharing your writing with us!
| Fang chapter 49 . 4/20/2012
Please! Please! Please! Finish this story! It's too good to end this way!
| iwantmycupcake chapter 49 . 2/2/2011
My favorite character has always been Severus Snape. I LOVE HIM. And Draco. And all the other Slytherins. :)
I read the other parts to the trilogy and I simply loved how we got to know Sev, and all the troubles he went through and how he was slowly recovering. It was amazing to see how he grew up and all his feelings. It was really sweet and emotional. I couldn't stop reading. Whenever I had free time, I would rush to the computer and start reading your fanfiction. I wish you kept up with the original format with everything from Snape's POV though. When you split it up in the end into Year 2, Year 3, etc., it was just a basic overview/summary of what was happening except I felt that we weren't as close to Snape as before. I understand with all the characters that it would be easier and it would possibly get boring year after year with Snape preparing for the classes, getting ready, blahblahblah:) but I was kind of disappointed when Gorgon died because I thought it would be more...emotional, I guess? and I was like, WTF MALFOY? I loved all the Slytherins :) They deserve to be seen in a better light. I loved meeting the new characters like Carling and Leland your bum outside! Screw Pansy! But, I absolutely loved how it made the and it was great to see them so proud of themselves, especially with Tonks. It was amazing! And the whole time, I was hoping you bring back Tabitha somewhere near the end maybe to visit Snape and tell him that she was in rehab or something haha.
I really hoped you would keep on writing and finish the story :)
All in all, breathtaking fanfiction. The best Snape fanfic I have ever read. Great job :)
| waiting for eternity chapter 49 . 11/11/2010
Having stayed with the tilogy for so long, I can't help but say that I'm disappointed in how this story is reduced to summaries. I miss the weeks when everything was detailed and Severus came to life. While I understand that years have passed and things have changed, I still wish they were the same. I won't be reading this any more, perhaps only reviewing the first two, but good luck with whatever you are doing. I hope you like it.

It's so sad! Sniff.

will you please please please please please update this again? i hope it hasn't been fully abandoned or anthing...i love this fic so much and it's nice to read a accurate version of what happens in the books from a slyth. POV. i do feel harry and the golden trio gets away with too many things...*sighs* i would like to read the full chapters of everything but informative summaries will do too! haha they're like a mini story in itself! please finish this!

About the Author
Nora Roberts is the number-one New York Times-bestselling author of more than 150 novels, including High Noon, Angels Fall, Blue Smoke, and Northern Lights. She is also the author of the bestselling futuristic suspense series written under the pen name J. D. Robb. There are more than 280 million copies of her books in print.
From AudioFile
The most recent in the Lieutenant Eve Dallas futuristic mysteries involves a new homicide that is connected to the murder of a young, talented singer that occurred in the 1960s. Dallas has to connect the dots and in the process deal with hauntings, curses, and ghosts. Susan Ericksen does a good job with the characters' voices, delivering an especially strong Irish brogue for Eve's husband, Roarke. However, even the best performance can't overcome the slimness of the plot and the overemphasis on ballistics. This is definitely the weakest title in the series and may appeal only to the most diehard fans. S.S.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

*Beware of possible Spoilers*
haunted-in-death-j-d-robbIt's the start of a new year in 2060 and Eve is thrown into a case that brings up an old urban legend.
Number Twelve was a club where up and coming singer, Bobbie Bray, performed. She and her boyfriend, Hop, lived above the club in an apartment he had made. But when she was getting ready to leave him she mysteriously disappeared never to be seen again. Her body was never found and ever since the building seems to be cursed. Any time anybody purchases or has anything to do with it they meet an untimely death or the business goes belly up. No serious or smart investor will touch it, not even Roarke. The place is rumored to be haunted by Bobbie herself.
Now Hop's grandson has bought Number Twelve with plans of renovating it. Only he is shot and killed before he has a chance to get the project off the ground. But what they find while investigating the murder shocks people everywhere. Bobbie Bray's remains. It turns out that Hop had killed her as many suspected and built a wall to conceal her body and the killer wanted to make sure her bones were found at long last. And, stranger yet Hop's grandson was killed with the same gun that killed Bobbie all those years ago.
While investigating at Number Twelve, Eve keeps hearing singing and even seeing a young woman that looks like Bray. Is it her ghost or just a really good show put on by her avenger?
This is a short story and let me tell you there is a lot going on in those 80 pages. I never would have thought it was possible to put so much in. You get Bobbie and Hop's back-story, their family, their relationship and everything that's happened since. Then, you get a little sex scene with Eve and Roarke and Eve teasing Peabody for her fear of Number Twelve. Then, finally you get the case all wrapped up with a nice little bow.
I liked the premise of this book and thought it was interesting when Eve got to see Bobbie's ghost reenact everything that happened which gave us all a better understanding of exactly what went down that terrible night she died.
But something was missing for me in this one that I just can't put my finger on and the entire book came off as mediocre to me. But it was a quick fun read nonetheless.
This review and more at openbooksociety dot com
Eve Dallas and Delia Peabody are staring down at the corpse of Radcliff C. Hopkins III, who has been shot nine times with a 9mm, one of those times by direct contact to the forehead. For Eve, the first problem with this scenario, other than the fact that the man has been dispatched with decided overkill, is that 9mm firearms aren't in circulation any longer. In fact, guns of all types are banned and have been for several decades.
The second problem with this scenario is the building in which the victim is found. Back in the 1970's, Rad Hopkins' grandfather had owned the building. A music producer, Hop Hopkins had run a highly successful club called Number Twelve on the premises until his death from a drug overdose. Since then, the building has had a multitude of short-term owners and is now in significant disrepair. It also has such a reputation for being haunted that even Roarke wouldn't buy it when it went up for auction several months prior.
The third problem is that Eve finds, in a section of wall recently cut open in the club's upstairs living quarters, a skeleton. This skeleton has a bullet hole in the forehead, holds a beautiful, well cared for diamond clip in one bony hand and a very clean but recently fired 9mm gun is by the other.
To add to all this, Eve, as she peruses the skeleton, is assaulted by sudden and crippling cold. And she hears the husky lilt of Bobbie Bray, a legendary songstress who had performed almost exclusively at Number Twelve. At least she had until the day she disappeared without a trace from that very apartment 85 years ago.
So, now, Eve has two murders on her plate. She also has a crime scene that emanates otherworldly manifestations that literally reach out and touch the various detectives and sweepers as they work. And none of these many instances of voices or touches can be justified logically; there are no electronic devices, jammers or scanners nearby, or even far away, that relate.
Because this novella has scarcely a hundred pages, all the normal action and all the discussions that we are used to in the full size entries are compacted. Unfortunately, this story feels more like an expanded outline for a major novel than a piece originally meant, from the start, to be a novella. And this is the first of Robb's novellas that have relegated Roarke to a cardboard cutout of himself. Frankly, it feels as if his only reason for being in the story is to force Eve to consider the possibility that spirits do exist amongst us.
For those of us who regularly read paranormal suspense and urban fantasy as well as more traditional mysteries and police procedurals, the suggestion that a ghost haunts a building seems quite reasonable. And when Roarke and Peabody repeatedly try to get Eve to even consider the possibility, we see it as the typical fight between being open-minded and being a member of the Flat-Earth Society. However, bridge novellas always have a distinct purpose in a series. And just like the subdued tones of Bobbie Bray's plaintive melodies slip through the rooms of Number Twelve, that purpose slips into the reader's consciousness.
In the end, after the murderer is taken down, Eve bears injuries that could not have come from mortal means. She experienced effects upon her body that cannot be accounted for by human or electronic means. She saw a presence that cannot be explained by a hologram. But she cannot accept or even explore the idea that these effects and injuries could have been caused by a ghost, the spirit of a dead soul.
For if Eve considers that idea for even a moment, then she would have to reconsider the source of her nightmares. She would have to admit that those dreams where her father comes back to taunt her with both words and actions, those nightmares that have become almost impossible to awaken from without Roarke's help, may not be nightmares at all! And that is a possibility that Eve cannot entertain on even the most superficial level. She just can't.
The plot is relatively simple. A murder is discovered in a building that is assumed to be haunted and/or cursed and Eve needs to figure out what happened. The victim is the grandson of the former owner of the building which was a swinging club in the 1960s. The owner of the club had a girlfriend who disappeared and attained legendary status. She was a 24-year-old rock star. Then the owner locked himself into the luxury apartment above the club until he died. Since then the building has gone through lots of owners who all seemed to have bad luck there.
The victim is a guy with multiple ex-wives who was always looking for the next big score - nothing illegal but none of his grand plans ever came through. He had big plans to restore the club and capitalize on the legend of Bobbie Bray. He was shot with an antique gun which turns out to be the gun used to shoot Bobbie Bray too. When investigating the murder of Radcliff Hopkins, Eve finds the bones of another crime victim in the apartment above the club. Apparently the body had been walled in at death but had been found by Radcliff.
Eve traces Redcliff Hopkins past to see if there are clues. Everything seems to lead back to his grandfather's day and the mysterious disappearance of Bobbie Bray. And, it seems, Bobbie Bray has never left the building. Eve hears voices and music but dismisses it. She is far too rational to ever believe in ghosts. Though Roarke is willing to believe in the possibility of ghosts which puts he and Eve somewhat at odds. Eve does have to come to the realization of why she doesn't want to believe in ghosts which helps us understand her and helps her understand herself.
The thrilling climax also includes a visit from the ghost - though Eve will deny it if anyone should ask.
The audio was well-done. All of the characters were given voices that were distinct enough to tell them apart. I liked the emotion in the reader's voice and the suspense that she created. I liked the pacing of the story and the reading. This was a very pleasant way to spend about three hours.
~Bump in the Night Anthology~
*Number Twelve is an urban legend in 2060 New York City. The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted...and cursed. Lt. Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number Twelve a cultural icon. Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory. With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic. Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.
*while checking out the Crime Scene Peabody & Eve Hear a Really Spooky Voice . Peabody is Spooked ...... Eve went to check out the building (No.12 and notices it feels Really Cold inside....while Peabody talks to the first on scene.....Eve finds a hair clips looks like Diamonds on it the Stones were Clean No Dust ......Hmmmm, Eve also Notices certain parts of the building was Clean and others weren't she finds a skeleton and a Gun and a brand new brick wall.... that the bones were behind ....Sound Fishy? Is the building Really Haunted & Crused??
* the building(No.12 has had Several Suspicious Fires, that were never explained.
*Eve's Vic was Riddled with 9 bullets from a 9mm Gun, thinks he was killed by someone he knows. he gets a call on his link a guy doesn't eat chips & pickles , beer if he's nervous ? watches some lite porn. didn't Seem Nervous from the call he got....
* Haunted, Cursed or made to look that way? the bones(female Eve found was killed by the Same Gun as Eve's Vic (Hopkins) Hmmmmm the plot thickens......
* Eve and Roarke GO BACK TO No.12 TO CHECK IT OUT Eve hears a voice singing a song and then heard someone talking saying no don't shot then they see an image Eve's Not buying it thinks it's all set up........

To those who are confused as to the conflict of solubility: creatine isn't soluble in water. Water is pH neutral and polar. Creatine is neither of those two and therefore will not dissociate in water. It is for this reason that creatine is micronized. Some skeptics didn't take the time to figure what micronization is before spouting out their two-cents. Stomach acid, however, contains enzymes that act as biological catalysts to rapidly break down creatine so that it may be absorbed in the digestive tract. "Does it work?" Just because it doesn't dissolve in water does not mean it won't break down when consumed. The same concept applies with other nonpolar chemicals. Try dissolving some other supplements around your house. How about those gel fish oil tablets? That probably isn't going anywhere when put in water, eh? Still works when you injest it though, doesn't it?
These skeptics are the people who still believe gum stays in the stomach for several years; ignore them and buy the supplement. Simply-put, dissolution has nothing to do with its functionality. Take it from a chemist and ignore the uneducated skeptics.
I love the product and definitely will buy again. Thanks! :)
The fine powder blends well into protein shakes and smoothies and adds very little texture. This is a huge plus since creatine isn't soluble in water (doesn't dissolve) and larger particles make your drinks grainy. Just remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day and stay hydrated!
I take the lower dose because I don't want to injure my kidneys with this stuff. The research showing kidney problems with creatine has been refuted, but it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side. Since I'm not at the gym lifting any more, I take the stuff sparingly and make sure to drink plenty of water during the day. I'm also confident that the product is safe because it is manufactured in a GMP compliant facility. I wouldn't consume any supplements that aren't, unless they're just some unprocessed natural product.
When I started taking it about 2 years ago, I noticed an improvement in stamina right away. I also noticed that I don't need to eat as many calories during the day. I'm assuming that's because my body is more efficiently processing the energy that it uses with an abundant supply of creatine to use for that purpose. I used to burn out and had a hard time staying awake after 3pm most days, but now I can work straight on through to 9pm when needed like I used to be able to when I was 18. I don't exactly feel 18 again, but man is it a great improvement over what it was like before I started taking it. Now that I have a baby in the house to care for, any extra energy I can muster is an absolute must, and this stuff delivers for me day after day.

An afternoon stroll...
Gili Meno is a small island - you can walk around it in an hour. A walk around the island in the late afternoon before dinner is easy on the well-defined sand tracks or time your walk so you can have a drink at one of the warung along the south west coast and watch the sun go down.

Snorkelling off the north-east coast of Gili Meno
I went snorkelling off the north-east coast early one morning. Perhaps it was the visibility, but it was definitely the best of the four snorkelling areas I tried. There wasn't a huge range of coral, and still a considerable amount of damaged coral, but there was a variety of interesting fish - see my photos in a 'favorites' tip.
The friendly people at Ya Ya Warung are happy to look to after your belongings while you are in the water.

Snorkelling off the south-west of Gili Meno
The friendly people at the old Art shack on the south-east tip of Gili Meno suggested I try snorkelling off the south-west coast near the former Bounty Resort. I walked around the southern tip to the west - it is probably the quietest section of the island - and came to Two Brother cafe. Very welcoming people there, quite happy to look after my bag, and pointed me in the best direction for snorkelling.
While the coral has taken a bit of a beating, there were large numbers of fish around the collapsed piers of the Bounty Resort. Hopefully in a few years here will be even greater numbers and a regeneration of coral.
There are plans for part of this section of coast to be a 'protected area' which is great and may see a re-emergence of more cora and fish.

Snorkelling off the south-east of Gili Meno
Morning provides good visibility in the waters off the south-east of Gili Meno. Leave your stuff in the care of the friendly people at the old Art shop and have a cup of coffee with them later - wonderful people.
I found the snorkelling off the south-east much better than the north-west (which I had been told was the best). Perhaps it was the visibility or that the sea was much calmer, not sure. Still not terrible good in terms of coral but a few vivid clams.

Snorkelling off the north-west of Gili Meno
I had been told that the snorkelling in the waters around Gili Meno was really good. Some years ago I had been to Gili Air and enjoyed snorkelling there, so I was looking forward to Gili Meno. I purposely chose accommodation in the north-west corner, as I had been told that was where the best snorkelling is.
I'd have to say, I was disappointed. There is very little living coral at snorkelling depth. There is a lot of coral rubble, a few fish, but nothing like I had hoped. Compared to the snorkelling I had recently done in Sumbawa, there was a distinct lack of color.

Proving that no sacrifice is too great in the name of science, avid hiker Roland Mueser once devised a controlled experiment and carried it out during blackfly season in the woods and swamps near his New Jersey home: He ran a 4-mile course through the woods wearing DEET repellent on alternate days, and tallied the number of bites sustained during each run.
Roland is the author of several books, and his articles have appeared in Appalachia, the Colorado Mountain Club magazine T&T, and other outdoor journals. A retired physicist, Roland is a former member of the engineering research faculty at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University and was a research scientist for Bell Laboratories. After retiring, he thru-hiked the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail in 1989.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Journalist Bornstein (The Price of a Dream: The Story of the Grameen Bank) profiles nine indomitable champions of social change who developed innovative ways to address needs they saw around them in places as distinct as Bombay, India; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and inner-city Washington, D.C. As these nine grew influential when their ingenious ideas proved ever more widely successful, they came to the attention of Ashoka, an organization that sponsors a fellows program to foster social innovation by finding so-called social entrepreneurs to support. As Bornstein interviewed these and many other Ashoka fellows, he saw patterns in the ways they fought to solve their specifically local problems. To demonstrate the commonality among experiences as diverse as a Hungarian mother striving to provide a fuller life for her handicapped son and a South African nurse starting a home-care system for AIDS patients, he presents useful unifying summaries of "four practices of innovative organizations" and "six qualities of successful social entrepreneurs." Bornstein implies that his subjects are in the tradition of Florence Nightingale and Gandhi; the inspiring portraits that emerge from his in-depth reporting on the environments in which individual programs evolved (whether in politically teeming India or amid the expansive grasslands of Brazil) certainly show these unstoppable entrepreneurs as extraordinarily savvy community development experts. In adding up the vast number of current nongovernmental organizations and their corps of agents of positive change, Bornstein aims to persuade that, "without a doubt, the past twenty years has produced more social entrepreneurs than terrorists.".

"Wonderfully hopeful and enlightening.... The stories of these social entreprenuers will inspire and encourage many people who seek to build a better world."--Nelson Mandela
"The book is must reading for anyone who cares about building a more equitable, and therefore more stable, world."--William J. Holstein, New York Times
"A fascinating book.... Well-documented cases of grassroots entrepreneurial activities to tackle such diverse social problems as child abuse, disability, illiteracy, and environmental degradation give life to it."--Laura D'Andrea Tyson, Business Week
"The inspiring portraits that emerge from his in-depth reporting on the environments in which individual programs evolved (whether in politically teeming India or amid the expansive grasslands of Brazil) certainly show these unstoppable entrepreneurs as extraordinarily savvy community development experts."--Publishers Weekly
"Human progress has always been led by visionary individuals who seek a better future and dedicate their lives to realizing that promise. These social entrepreneurs tackle some of the world's toughest challenges with grit and determination. Bornstein has given us that rarest of gifts: a book about hope, about courage, and about the power of those extraordinary man and women who change the world."--Jeff Skoll, Founder and Chairman, Skoll Foundation, and first president of eBay
"The social entrepreneurs chronicled in this book are part of the vital generation of independent, creative leaders who are sparking social changes in the United States and in parts of world where people are most in need. We will be hearing much more from them in the years to come." --Bill Bradley

Top Customer Reviews
In How to Change the World, author David Bornstein presents short biographies of ordinary citizens who have cared enough to actually go out and change what is wrong in society. The nine stories of social entrepreneurs or innovators, dubbed 'transformative forces' by the author, have the power to inspire readers to want to do something. The fine examples of social entrepreneurship within the pages of this book make one realize that there is hope for the planet after all.
To quote Bornstein, "Across the world, social entrepreneurs are demonstrating new approaches to many social ills and new models to create social wealth, promote social well-being, and restore the environment." What is tremendously energizing is that so many of these change agents already exist and are moving mountains for you and me, and for our children.
The major contribution of the book is that it underlines that one doesn't have to be rich or powerful to alter the current reality. What is required is to feel empathy and concern in high doses, and to recognize and understand a problem. The stories trace how, if one is sufficiently charged, creative ideas for 'getting around' problem areas -- be it public apathy or bureaucratic indifference -- flow naturally. The hallmark of a true social entrepreneur really shines through at the next stage, when these ideas are converted into reality.Read more ›
a) prefer action instead of stagnancy
b) prefer good solutions instead of persisting problems
c) prefer justice and opportunity instead of poverty and neglect, or,
d) prefer good writing, period.
Bornstein accurately writes, "Anyone who has ever dreamt of solving a problem or making a positive change in his or her environment will find encouraging and instructive stories here." He takes us around the world to visit social entrepreneurs and find out what makes these people tireless fighters for their causes.
Each profile is like an episode of VH1's Driven - we see what inspires these people, how they overcome obstacles, and why they succeed - but instead of following a pop star to a record deal and a fleet of Escalades, we watch social entrepreneurs achieve rights for people with disabilities, compassionate home care for HIV / AIDS patients, and electricity for the rural poor. Unlike celebrities or CEOs, these folks have no interest in fame and fortune. We are lucky indeed that Bornstein has taken it upon himself to describe their efforts; they are far too busy pursuing their dreams of a better world to stop and promote themselves. Many advocate endlessly for their causes, but as Bornstein points out, they have in common a willingness to work quietly, to share credit, and to plow through their own savings and time to make progress. Social entrepreneurs have a greater attachment to finding solutions than to being right, rich, or recognized.
These and other common traits are highlighted throughout the book. We see that social entrepreneurs don't start with the perfect plan, they just have a complete commitment to solving a problem.Read more ›
It is telling that, on the surface, the entrepreneurs described have little in common. Vera Cordeiro, for example, grew up comfortably in the pampered upper strata of Brazilian society, while AIDS worker Veronica Khosa was orphaned at an early age in an impoverished village in South Africa. Fábio Rosa is a born tinkerer and engineer who built dams and irrigation systems in his backyard as a child, while Erzébet Szekeres was a mid-level tradesswoman who never considered the changing Hungary's treatment of the disabled until the birth of her disabled son.Read more ›

June Job Figures Weaker Than Expected
American employers added 112,000 jobs to payrolls in June, well below the number predicted by the Bush administration. The overall U.S. unemployment rate remains at 5.6 percent. The new numbers raise questions about the strength of the U.S. economy — but some analysts caution not to read too much into a single month's data. NPR's Jim Zarroli reports.

Measuring Immigration's Effects on Labor Demand: A Reexamination of the Mariel Boatlift
It is now well known that exogenous immigration shocks tend to have benign effects on native employment outcomes, thanks to various secondary adjustment processes made possible by flexible markets. One adjustment process that has received scant attention is that immigrants, as consumers of the goods they help produce, contribute to their own demand. We examine the effects of an immigration shock on labor demand by testing a general equilibrium model in which imperfectly substitutable native and immigrant workers spend their wages on a locally produced good. The shock induces three responses: (i) a substitution of immigrants for natives; (ii) out-migration; and (iii) stimulation of labor demand. According to (iii), native wages can fall, stay the same or rise, depending upon the strength of the shock and various product and factor market elasticities. As our test case, we reexamine the 1980 "Mariel Boatlift," using Wacziarg's "Channel Transmission" methodology. Our data set includes approximately 6,600 observations for 1979-85 from the Current Population Survey on workers in 9 different retail labor markets and Survey of Buying Power data on retail spending by consumers in Miami and four comparison cities. Our results provide a more complete explanation for why the Boatlift's overall effects on native wages in Miami were benign: Lower wages due to greater labor supply were offset by higher wages due to greater labor demand. We conclude that the demand-augmenting effect of an immigration shock is a significant secondary adjustment process that must be considered when assessing the distributional effects of immigration.

Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel, June 5 -- How many serious music fans would consider paying $14 to park downtown and $200 for admission to an industry-slanted awards ceremony -- hosted by a Backstreet Boy, of all people? Probably not many. Yet last Thursday night, a grand ballroom was full of patrons. On closer inspection, however, most of the well-heeled attendees seemed somehow connected to the music industry and/or the honorees of Atlanta's Heroes Awards.
"Hello to all my friends," said Michele Rhea Caplinger, executive director of Atlanta's chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. As she opened the second annual Heroes Awards ceremony clad in an elegant, back-revealing evening dress, Caplinger was indeed in the company of pals and associates. Thus, the introductory big-screen video presentation, explaining how the awards honor locals who make significant contributions to the local music community, was akin to an overzealous evangelist preaching to his choir.
Final tallies of attendance and grosses of the $150-$200-per-ticket wing-ding were not available at press time, but a spokesman said proceeds (whatever's left after expenses of the posh party) will be divided between the Atlanta chapter's educational programs (75 percent) and NARAS musician's aid fund MusiCares (25 percent). The division was fitting because, as is the case with many industry-centric events, participants spent 75 percent of the evening touting their own virtues and endlessly thanking each other. The other 25 percent was dedicated to a few truly enjoyable moments.
The chandeliers hanging above the opulent eighth-floor Peachtree Ballroom sparkled much brighter than the dim banter between host Brian Littrell of fading boy-band heartthrobs the Backstreet Boys and his "model/actress" wife Leighanne. The Littrells tried in vain to be witty, but their lame verbal jousting received only obligatory, forced chuckles.
Fairing much better at cracking wise were 99X radio personalities Steve Barnes and Jimmy Baron as they introduced the evening's first recipient, their on-air cohort, Leslie Fram, director of programming for Susquehanna - Atlanta (WNNX and WWWQ). Baron's self-depreciating humor was most welcome, and the genuine sincerity of the oft-awarded Fram was touching. Shawn Mullins played a song in her honor, offering "Lullaby," the massive hit that Fram helped popularize. (Susquehanna - Atlanta was also a sponsor of the event.)
A giant golden replica of a Grammy award sat in the center of the stage like a Gramophone Buddha as legendary guitarist Duane Eddy spoke slowly and quietly about honorees Fred and Dinah Gretsch, Savannah-based president and CFO of Gretsch Guitars and Drums. Fred Gretsch stood silently beside his wife while she noted, "Music is what brings us all together."
By the middle of the evening, music was still in short supply, but guest Bo Diddley -- a longtime customer of the Gretsch company -- finally arrived to liven up the joint. Clutching his trademark cigar-box-shaped guitar, Diddley charged through a blistering version of "Who Do You Love?"
Atlanta NARAS Chapter President Jermaine Dupri, along with trustees Jan Smith and Phil Tan, introduced Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of TLC as Heroes honorees. "The true heroes are the Lopez family," said Thomas, who then introduced the mother of her late TLC colleague Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. Wanda Lopez Colemon thanked the crowd, adding, "God has given me the peace that passes all understanding." (TLC records for Heroes sponsors Arista Records.)
Host Littrell also evoked the deity during his unnecessary solo spot, performing a pitch-imperfect song he said was "on the gospel tip" and dedicated to the Lopez family.
Attorney Joel Katz (of event sponsor Greenberg/Traurig) introduced the final Hero of the evening, his very first client, James Brown. Pledging to "never forget where I came from and who made me," Brown singled out his sons, a doctor and even his dentist, concluding with a sing-along of "God Bless America."
But the absolute highlight of the night was an all-too-brief musical tribute to James Brown. Kelly Price performed an electrifying version of Brown's 1966 single "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," briefly joined by the Godfather of Soul himself. Massive Cee-Lo (also from sponsor Arista) and Joi, sporting a sexy thigh-revealing black dress, brought the show to a rousing, umm, climax with their steamy duet of Brown's "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine." A few people even danced in the aisles.
Dinah Gretsch was right. Music is indeed what brings all people together. It also makes enduring corporate orgies such as this one worthwhile.
3 people apparently love handing over an extra 40% in fees for nothing in return…
Dang. I thought they would name some actual headliners.
Forgot to mention that Iggy did a stellar show @ the Agora in the spring…
Their fees were onerous, to say the least. $16 per ticket for "convenience," and it's…
That poster is for the Iggy Pop show on March 11 1983 @ 688 club…

I have the following F# code which uses FSharp.Reactive. The function reactToEvents takes two event sources and produces one source of application states. The application states are then consumed by the UI
open FSharp.Reactive
let reactToEvents (initialSettings:Settings)
(incomingTweets: ITweet IObservable)
(uiActions: UserInput IObservable) : State IObservable =
let initialState = { settings = initialSettings; tweets = [] }
let tweetInput = Observable.map TweetReceived incomingTweets
let userInput = Observable.map UserAction uiActions
let allInput = Observable.merge userInput tweetInput
Observable.scan transition initialState allInput
In the above function incomingTweets events are produced on one thread while uiActions are produced on the UI thread.
Is it safe to merge the two sources using Observable.merge like I do above?
Is it safe to scan the resulting source using Observable.scan like above?
If this is not correct then what would be the correct approach?
I was hoping that at least Observable.merge doesn't care about the threads. I found this and it seems to say that they are not safe to use like this:
"For each observer, the registered intermediate observing object is not thread safe. That is, observations arising from the source must not be triggered concurrently on different threads."
What would be the correct approach then?
This was a confusion. The documentation I was linking is for the functions merge and scan from the namespace Microsoft.FSharp.Control.Observable. This is different than Rx which I was using in my code.So for the real Rx you need to use the library FSharp.Reactive and the functions under FSharp.Reactive.Observable
